Mixing prints, layering different tones, adding something unexpected. It makes getting dressed feel creative again instead of repetitive.

We’re deep in prep for our Summer collection at @zandrastone_studio and there are so many beautiful new pieces coming. Including the Mint Jelly shorts I’m wearing… which I know a lot of you have already become slightly obsessed with 🥰
I run to get life ready.
Not just physically - mentally. Running is how I dissolve the monkey chatter in my head and return to feeling capable. And feeling capable is, I’ve learned, exactly how self-confidence grows.
Small business does a number on your confidence. The rejections, the second-guessing, the invisible days. I had to find something that blew the cobwebs away - and whatever that thing is, it matters more than most people let on.
For years when my kids were little, it was spinning. Then power walking. Now it’s running - the adrenaline, the sweat, the silence on the other side of effort.
It doesn’t have to be running. It just has to be yours.
If there is one thing I’d tell anyone building something or trying to show up the way they want - invest in finding the ritual that holds your mental health together. Without it, everything feels harder than it needs to be.
What’s yours? 👇
